CHAIN DRIVE

Nonreversing Models

Refer to Figure 20.

Proper tension is when the belt can be depressed

approximately 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) by applying light

thumb pressure at a point midway between the cylinder

sprocket and the idler sprocket.

IMPORTANT: After a tumbler has been in operation

over an extended period of time, a “HIGH POINT”

will develop on the cylinder drive sprocket through

use and wear. Turn the sprocket manually with drive

chain in place until this “high point” is at the top

center. The “high point” can be found by noticing

increased chain tension while slowly rotating the

cylinder sprocket manually.

1. Remove guard from rear of tumbler.

2. To adjust chain tension, loosen acorn nut holding

idler sprocket to housing.

3. Move idler sprocket left or right until proper chain

tension is reached, then retighten the acorn nut.

4. Replace the guard on rear of tumbler.

BELT DRIVE

Nonreversing Models

Refer to Figure 21.

approximately 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) by applying light

thumb pressure at a point midway between the sheave

and motor pulley.

1. Remove guard from rear of tumbler.

2. To adjust belt tension, loosen idler housing bolts

holding idler housing assembly to the housing

support.

3. Position housing assembly by turning adjusting bolt
